  • The Proxy DLL is a mechanism using a normal characteristics of Windows. Specific malware is executed via this mechanism after intrusion into a system which is targeted. If a intrusion of malware is successful, malware should be executed at least once. For execution, malware is disguised as a Windows Library. The malware of Winnti group is a good case for this. Winnti is a group of Chinese hacking groups identified by research in the fall of 2011 at Kaspersky Lab. Winnti group activities was negatively over the years to target the online video game industry, in this process by making a number of malware infected the online gaming company. In this paper, we perform research on detection techniques of Proxy DLL malware which is disguised as a Windows library through Winnti group case. The experiments that are undertaken to target real malware of Winnti show reliability of detection techniques.

  • The penetration of malicious code and the function of security blocking are performed on the same course of traffic pathway. The security domain is the concept to distinguish the domain from the group handling with the traffic on the structure of network which is performed with the function of penetration and security. The security domain could be different from the criterion of its realm and function, which requires the development and the application of security mechanism for every domain. For the establishment of security domain it is needed to show what criterion of net work should be set up. This study is to research the criterion for topology factor, security domain. structure map selection, and blocking location and disinfection net. It is shown to increase the effective rate blocking the virus with the proposed method in this paper rather than the traditional network architecture. The purpose of this paper is to suggest the necessity of development of security mechanism and the distinguished blocking function according to the level of security domain.

  • Once information security solution is implemented, it requires many services other than just general user management, such as malicious code analysis and security updated for consistent security against external threats or attacks, analysis of threat and attack, effectivity management of obtained security assurance, and advisory activities of security technical professionals. However, even if information security solutions provide those extra services, they are not properly treated in real market. Thus, for the security sustainable services, this study analyzes the service status of domestic information security, and suggest policy measure of price which could reflected the characteristics of information security solutions.

  • Advances in detection techniques, such as mutation and obfuscation, are being advanced with the development of malware technology. In the malware detection technology, unknown malware detection technology is important, and a method for Malware Authorship Attribution that detects an unknown malicious code by identifying the author through distributed malware is being studied. In this paper, we try to extract the compiler information affecting the binary-based author identification method and to investigate the sensitivity of feature selection, probability and non-probability models, and optimization to classification efficiency between studies. In the experiment, the feature selection method through information gain and the support vector machine, which is a non-probability model, showed high efficiency. Among the optimization studies, high classification accuracy was obtained through feature selection and model optimization through the proposed framework, and resulted in 48% feature reduction and 53 faster execution speed. Through this study, we can confirm the sensitivity of feature selection, model, and optimization methods to classification efficiency.

  • In modern warfare, securing communication channel by combatting opponents' electromagnetic attack is a crucial factor to win the war. Military satellite digital transponder is a communication payload of the next generation military satellite that maintains warfare networks operational in the presence of interfering signals by securely relaying signals between ground terminals. The transponder in this paper is classified as a partial processing transponder which performs cost effective secure relaying in satellite communication links. The control functions of transmission security achieve immunity to hostile interferences which may cause malicious effects on the link. In this paper, we present an efficient architecture for implementing the control mechanism. Two major ideas of pipelined processing in per-group control and software processing of blocked band information dramatically reduce the complexity of the hardware. A control code sequence showing its randomness with uniform distribution is exemplified and qualification test results are briefly presented.

  • Threat intelligences collected from cyber incident sharing system and security events collected from Security Information & Event Management system are analyzed and coped with expanding malicious code rapidly with the advent of big data. Analytical classification of the threat intelligence in cyber incidents requires various features of cyber observable. Therefore it is necessary to improve classification accuracy of the similarity by using multi-profile which is classified as the same features of cyber observables. We propose a multi-profile ensemble model performed similarity analysis on cyber incident of threat intelligence based on both attack types and cyber observables that can enhance the accuracy of the classification. We see a potential improvement of the cyber incident analysis system, which enhance the accuracy of the classification. Implementation of our suggested technique in a computer network offers the ability to classify and detect similar cyber incident of those not detected by other mechanisms.

  • Cyber incident collected from cyber-threat-intelligence sharing Center is growing rapidly due to expanding malicious code. It is difficult for Incident analysts to extract and classify similar features due to Cyber Attacks. To solve these problems the existing Similarity Analysis Method is based on single or multiple cyber observable of similar incidents from Cyber Attacks data mining. This method reduce the workload for the analysis but still has a problem with enhancing the unreality caused by the provision of improper and ambiguous information. We propose a incident analysis model performed similarity analysis on the hierarchically classified cyber observable based on cyber incident that can enhance both availability by the provision of proper information. Appling specific cyber incident analysis model, we will develop a system which will actually perform and verify our suggested model.

  • The use of agent paradigm in today's applications is hampered by the security concerns of agents and hosts alike. The agents require the presence of a secure and trusted execution environment; while hosts aim at preventing the execution of potentially malicious code. In general, hosts support the migration of agents through the provision of an agent server and managing the activities of arriving agents on the host. Numerous studies have been conducted to address the security concerns present in the mobile agent paradigm with a strong focus on the theoretical aspect of the problem. Various proposals in Intrusion Detection Systems aim at securing hosts in traditional client-server execution environments. The use of such proposals to address the security of agent hosts is not desirable since migrating agents typically execute on hosts as a separate thread of the agent server process. Agent servers are open to the execution of virtually any migrating agent; thus the intent or tasks of such agents cannot be known a priori. It is also conceivable that migrating agents may wish to hide their intentions from agent servers. In light of these observations, this work attempts to bridge the gap from theory to practice by analyzing the security mechanisms available in Aglet. We lay the foundation for implementation of application specific protocols dotted with access control, secured communication and ability to detect tampering of agent data. As agents exists in a distributed environment, our proposal also introduces a novel security framework to address the security concerns of hosts through collaboration and pattern matching even in the presence of differing views of the system. The introduced framework has been implemented on the Aglet platform and evaluated in terms of accuracy, false positive, and false negative rates along with its performance strain on the system.
